Wang Jiaping's head was a little fried, but this was not the time to complain. He really wanted to see that the matter of Guo Ben was completely settled before he left his official post, and stopped pestering him endlessly. This kind of thing will cause too much damage to the country, and if it is not handled well, there will be big troubles in the future, which must be solved by oneself.
This was Wang Jiaping's insistence. For this reason, he was willing to overcome all difficulties, including enduring the battle between Gao Pragmatic and Shen Yiguan - as long as this did not affect the smooth establishment of the crown prince.
"I just asked, what is Mr. Jiaomen's opinion of the Emperor's Zhu Zhu?" Wang Jiaping asked again patiently.
"Oh, it is certainly a good thing that Zhu Pi agreed to conduct a thorough investigation of Yikun Palace. However, as Rixin Gong also mentioned just now, it seems that it is indeed somewhat difficult as to how the Three Law Departments of the Outer Court can play a role in this investigation." Shen I haven't sorted out my thoughts yet, so I try to delay it as much as possible.
Of course Wang Jiaping was not satisfied with his answer and immediately frowned and said nothing. Shen Guanyi also knew that what he said was just a parody of what Gao Pangshi had just said, and it was really meaningless. He had to add: "Besides, the biggest trouble in this is... if we first characterize yesterday's change as an intention to kill the king. , then it would be inconvenient for the Third Law Division to intervene."
This time Shen Yiguan finally said a very key fact, that is, regicide is equivalent to conspiracy, and according to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, rebellion is not under the jurisdiction of the Three Laws.
Who's in charge? Return to factory guard.
So we have to talk about what kind of existence the real factory guard is. In the period before Gao pragmatic time travel, there were an endless stream of film and television works and academic research works on the themes of Dongchang, Xichang and Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty. Although these works were uneven in their degree of restoration of historical facts, they basically emphasized the Some of the more distinctive characteristics of factory guards are revealed.
For example, these institutions are not only secretive and ruthless in their methods, but also cunning and pervasive. Factory guards are favored by the emperor, but they are often directed at the officials in the court, and most officials dare not speak in front of factory guards, etc. .
However, these are basically some descriptions of the external characteristics of factory guards. They cannot be said to be wrong, but they are certainly not comprehensive. If these external characteristics are exaggerated and emphasized one-sidedly, it is possible to form an unreal understanding of some historical issues.
For example, this question is now facing Gao Pragmatic: What is the relationship between the factory guards and the legal department in the Ming Dynasty?
Specific to individual trials, why is it that when no one dares to disobey the opinions of the factory guard leader "Zhongguan" and officials such as the Ministry of Punishment basically comply with them, why is it that the system still has the design of judicial power vested in the judicial department? If we want to answer this kind of question, we need to first clarify the nature of the factory guard institutions, especially their nature and status in the entire imperial power system.
There is a view in later academic circles that factory guards are a special supervisory organ. Indeed, factory guards do play an extremely important role in supervising the behavior of officials. However, it must be clear that factory guard inspections are different from traditional inspections by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology or the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Because they are directly assigned by the emperor, they often exert strong psychological pressure on the subjects under supervision. This kind of psychological pressure also comes directly from the responsibilities of the factory guards themselves. Unlike other supervisory agencies such as the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there is a set of relatively fixed and relatively open system rules for a long time, thus realizing the so-called "unknown punishment, no threat" "test" effect.
Therefore, the supervisory function of the factory guards can be said to be a deformed supervisory function in the traditional imperial system. Only when the factory guards are combined with the Ministry of Justice, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and even the Justice Department can they be integrated into the complete and strict supervisory staff of the imperial court. system to achieve the original intention of its establishment.
Specifically, first of all, from a time perspective, Jinyiwei was established earlier than the East and West factories. As early as the fifteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that the Yiluan Division be renamed Jinyiwei. Of course, the main responsibility of the Yiluan Division before was to guard the queues and guard functions. Not only did it not have the power to make arrests, but it also did not have the functions of detecting misconduct in front of the palace and maintaining cleanliness in the court since the Song Dynasty.
After the Yiluan Division was restructured into Jinyiwei, its rank increased and its internal organization also changed. Although it was still generally engaged in the original work, it had laid a certain foundation for later obtaining the power of investigation.
After that, although Jin Yiwei obtained certain detective powers, they were soon taken back due to the gradual subsidence of the "treacherous party" cases during the Hongwu period. Zhu Yuanzhang does not seem to hope that there will be another department with "head-to-toe" judicial functions outside the Justice Department, no matter what major cases they investigate.
Therefore, his approach was to "... burn all the torture instruments of the guards and send the prisoners to the Ministry of Punishment for trial. In the 26th year of Hongwu's reign, he declared the ban and ordered that mothers in and outside the prisons be allowed to go to the Jinyi Guards and the Xiaoxianjing Law Department."
During Zhu Di's reign, out of considerations of political stability and other factors, he began to give Jin Yiwei certain detective powers again. However, also based on the precautions against Jin Yiwei's organization, Zhu Di set up the East Factory to supervise Jin Yiwei to make up for some of the inherent shortcomings of Jin Yiwei. , and further strengthened the suspicion, prevention and surveillance of his subordinates - although these actions, both at the time and later, proved to not have the expected effect.
Since then, Dongchang's power has gradually expanded, usurping a large number of powers that originally belonged to Jinyiwei. At the same time, it also gained the emperor's favor due to its special organizational form such as being controlled by eunuchs.
Especially after Ji Gang was executed, the emperor became more aware of the necessity of having an institution specifically to control his subordinates, so the East Factory continued to exist as a permanent state institution until the Chenghua period when Xianzong established the West Factory. The monitoring of power has been further strengthened.
Some people believe that the division of power and honors between Jinyiwei and Dong and Xichang were based on the Chenghua period. This view is quite insightful. If we look at it from the perspective of institutional settings, we can indeed clearly see the difference in the expansion and contraction of institutions before and after Chenghua.
The powers of factory guards are very broad, but later academic circles have already had a relatively clear discussion on this issue. Generally speaking, the powers of factory guards are related to supervisory power and judicial power, and roughly include three aspects.
The first aspect is that factory guards have the power to investigate and arrest.
"History of the Ming Dynasty: Criminal Law Chronicles" states that the targets of investigation and arrest are "thieves and traitors, and blood in the streets and ditches." If the thieves referred to here can be defined more strictly based on the Ming Dynasty or traditional legal studies, then the content of "treachery" will be much broader, and it will be difficult to give an accurate scope of power.
The original meaning of "Jie Tugou Xue" refers to markets, roads, field paths, water canals, etc. It can be seen that this is also a general reference, and does not mean that Jin Yiwei's main scope of responsibilities is the above-mentioned specific areas.
It can be understood that Jin Yiwei has the power to investigate and arrest any behavior that may disrupt social order. In terms of nature, the power of investigation and arrest at that time was not only closely related to the traditional powers of the three judicial departments, but also often overlapped. The extended powers and responsibilities were very vague and difficult to distinguish.
Moreover, the extension of the power of factory guards is even broader and unclear due to the characteristics of the system itself. For example, in the third year of Jingtai, the emperor had a special discussion on this issue.
"From now on, only those who conspire, rebel, deceive the public with evil words, spy on the affairs of the imperial court, transport barbarians outside the palace, harbor traitors, make false purchases in warehouses and take real profits, and those who issue bills and officials who accept wealth and sell the law have shown serious sentiments." After hearing the actual report, the imperial censor of the point difference covered the whole body, and then he was allowed to hold the hearing.
For other matters, the victimized person is not allowed to report, and it is not allowed to take revenge, accept orders, falsely accuse good people, and sell the real things to the justice. It is also not allowed to listen to coercion and instructions, resulting in unjust accusations, illegal crimes, and serious circumstances, and the crime will not be forgiven. "
It can be seen from the original words of Emperor Jingtai that although the detective powers of the Jinyiwei are most representative of crimes that seriously endanger the ruling order, it does not prevent them from accepting reports from victims.
However, it is worth noting that whether it is making arrests on its own or accepting reports and exposures, the scope of responsibilities of factory guards is still basically expanded based on the functions of Jinyi Guards.
As mentioned before, the Jinyi Guards themselves have the responsibilities of guarding the palace and the royal family. Although they are relatively special, they are still a type of traditional garrison army. Naturally, they are not exempt from traditional tasks such as farming and fighting. Similar to the garrisons such as the Bingma Division, responsibilities such as inspecting traffic in the capital, dredging rivers, and even cleaning streets are also the daily responsibilities of the Jinyiwei.
Even during the Wanli period in original history, there are direct records of Jin Yiwei patrolling the streets and dredging rivers. However, in the current world, most of this has been "liberated" by high pragmatism.
As mentioned earlier in this book, after the restructuring of the Beijing Camp, engineering tasks such as dredging rivers have now been handed over to the Production and Construction Corps, and there is no need to worry about Jin Yiwei anymore - of course, for this kind of task, the court has to give additional production The Construction Corps appropriated the money.
In short, maintaining public security in the capital must be an important part of Jinyiwei's original mission. However, since Zhu Yuanzhang's reign, some members of the Jinyiwei have separated and begun to engage in some relatively secret tasks. Although this group of people was also selected from the Jinyiwei, their scope of authority was actually delineated by the emperor.
Therefore, if we look at it in this sense, Jin Yiwei is more similar to a police force in a comprehensive sense. Some of them gradually differentiate into secret police, while most of them still need to engage in general police functions.
Similar to the differentiated Jinyiwei, the investigative and arrest powers of the East and West factories were also specifically given by the emperor. Since they do not need to take on other tasks and only obey the emperor's orders, they can better realize the emperor's intentions. This also explains why the status of the East and West Factory will be higher than that of the Jinyiwei in the future, rather than simply The sentence "The leader of Dongchang is an eunuch and is closer to the emperor than Jinyiwei" can be explained.
The above is mainly about the functional division and formation process of the factory guards, especially the Jinyi Guards. The second aspect is about some of the judicial powers that the factory guards have. This is also more closely related to the issues facing the current cabinet.
As we all know, factory guards have the power to detain, interrogate and even torture to obtain evidence, and can also impose some specific punitive punishments. It should be noted that the detention here is not imprisonment in the sense of a penalty, but a temporary deprivation of personal freedom while awaiting trial or awaiting trial.
Compared with the legal society of later generations, this kind of power sounds very reactionary, but everything cannot be separated from the background of the times. This kind of power has its own significance at this moment. When Jin Yiwei and others have the power to investigate and arrest, it is actually very necessary to have this power.
At the same time, such detention is not entirely equivalent to the imperial edict set by the emperor. Judging from its organizational structure, Jinyiwei has a Zhenfusi similar to other military guards, and the prison of Jinyiwei is also the Zhenfusi Prison.
For a long time, Jinyiwei and Dongxichang have been notorious for their cruel punishments. As early as when Zhu Yuanzhang was dealing with Lan Jade Eucalyptus, Jinyiwei became Zhu Yuanzhang's scapegoat because of "illegal torture and killing too many", and Zhu Yuanzhang burned him The behavior of torture instruments is more like a means of exonerating oneself.
According to the records in "Wanli Yehuobian", the conditions in Zhenfu Prison were extremely harsh, which was very different from Fasi Prison. It uses an underground or semi-underground construction method. The walls are very thick and sound cannot be transmitted. The treatment of prisoners is also extremely poor. After many rounds of confiscations, there is very little food left. In the severe cold, there is no charcoal fire or warm clothing, and relatives are not allowed to visit.
It was precisely because of the combination of the pervasiveness of his detective operations and the cruelty of his torture methods that the emperor used it to intimidate officials, and the factory guards became more and more unscrupulous.
In addition to detention and interrogation, the imperial rod is another temporary punishment measure controlled by eunuchs and royal guards.
Although at the beginning of its formation, the imperial staff was more of a disciplinary measure and a deterrent method for ministers who offended the emperor and spoke out to remonstrate with them. However, its more and more widespread use later allowed the imperial guards and eunuchs to actually impose the punishment on them. Hold it firmly in your hand.
However, this power has little to do with the problems encountered by the cabinet at this time, so I will not mention it here.
Speaking of the third aspect, factory guards can use relatively special procedures to participate in judicial trials in a substantive sense. This power can be regarded as a kind of legal supervision power in a certain sense.
According to the records in the "History of the Ming Dynasty: Criminal Law Chronicles", the Jinyiwei could be imprisoned outside the Meridian Gate together with the Justice Department. For some serious crimes, they could also be held in a joint trial after the autumn.
In such trials, the eunuchs and royal guards of the ceremonial department often have relatively great power. The eunuchs of the ceremonial department can even serve as presiding officers and play a decisive role in the trial. However, this does not mean that factory guards have complete judicial power.
For example, Lin Jun, the Minister of the Jiajing Dynasty, once said: "The ancestors of the dynasty used prisons to pay the justice department. No matter how big or small, everyone listened to Ping Tao. Since Liu Jin and Qian Ning have been in charge of the affairs, they have been appointed as the governor, and they have led to unjust imprisonment, and the law and discipline have been greatly damaged."
Since then, the Jiajing Dynasty has made some useful explorations in regulating the participation of factory guards in the judiciary. For example, matters related to corrupt officials and unjust imprisonment still have to be submitted to the Tribunal for trial and defense. However, if there are some special secrets or secret conspiracy, they still need to be prosecuted. Listen to the detectives of the factory guards and listen to the heavens.
In other words, before the factory guards gradually gain power, or even during the process of gradually gaining power, the factory guards cannot "exclusively administer justice", that is, they cannot complete the entire judicial process alone.
Even after obtaining the right to hear certain cases, it must be made clear that in a sense, this power is entirely due to the emperor's arbitrariness of the sacred heart. However, if there is any chance, the civil service group will never allow this kind of power to be heard. situation arises.
Because of this, these special cases are usually directed at the civil servant group. Rather than saying this is an expansion of the authority of institutions such as factory guards, it is better to say that it is a reflection of the contradiction between imperial power and the civil servant group.
To sum up, it would be biased to characterize factory guards as either a spy agency or a judicial agency.
If it is characterized as a spy agency, it denies the normal functions of the factory guards, especially the Jinyi Guards, in maintaining social order and guarding the palace and the royal family, which is too narrow; and the factory guards are listed with the three law departments, and even the leader of the factory guards in some cases is It would be too lenient to assume that factory guards have complete judicial functions despite some manifestations of power manipulation.
Of course, after the factory guards objectively experienced some distortions in their powers, their nature can no longer be summarized by simple judicial functions. This is the result of many factors, and it is obviously not some eunuchs or factory guards. Even the emperor himself can control it at any time.
However, at least at the beginning of the establishment of the relevant institutions, this system, which was designed specifically for the civil service group, had some specific judicial functions that were as important to the three-law judicial system as its functions on political, supervisory, and military issues. constitute a certain degree of restrictions and checks and balances.
In other words, the purpose of setting up factory guards was to divide the power that the civil servant group regarded as life, and to quickly cause an immediate impact on their professionalism, so as to facilitate the imperial power to intervene in it more conveniently.
Generally speaking, when A forms a check and balance on B, B should also have a check and balance effect on A; that is to say, the three law divisions in the traditional bureaucracy will also inevitably form certain checks and balances and restrictions on the factory guards, in order to benefit the emperor. Obtain a dominant position with considerable advantages in the balance of power.
Therefore, in the final analysis, the so-called "imperial mentality" that has been maintained for thousands of years in traditional imperial societies is the original intention behind the factory guard system.
From this, a kind of joint investigation and internal and external trial mechanism with Ming characteristics emerged, that is, the Sanfa Division, Dongchang and Jinyiwei investigated a certain case at the same time, and then presided over the trial together. Of course, generally speaking, things that require such drastic action are often either very important or particularly sensitive.
However, the main targets of the above situation are almost all officials, and the problem facing the cabinet now is that the target of the investigation has been changed to the concubine.
Due to the "technical problem" Gao Jingshi mentioned that the three judicial officers of the outer court cannot enter the harem, now the cabinet elders - of course, mainly referring to Wang Jiaping, Gao Jingshi and Shen Yiguan, the three elders who still have things to do - need to Find an at least barely reasonable way to accommodate within the original institutional framework.
Just now Shen Guanyi said, "If yesterday's change is first characterized as an intention to kill the king, then it will be inconvenient for the Three Laws Division to intervene." This statement has an obvious purpose. The reason is that the "paradox" he proposed will definitely not be accepted by Wang Jiaping.
What he means is: now we either don’t define yesterday’s incident as regicide, or we can only watch as the Three Justice Department cannot intervene in the investigation.
The theoretical source of his words is what Emperor Jingtai said in the above article, "From now on, it will only be conspiracies, rebellions, deceiving the public, and spying on the affairs of the court... Fang Xu pointed out the truth and reported the truth, and the imperial censor covered the truth, and Fang Xu insisted News."
What does Emperor Jingtai mean? Specific to the current issue, that means that yesterday's incident must be investigated and substantiated first, and then reviewed and approved by the censor before being arrested and interrogated.
See, Shen Yiyi firmly nailed this matter to his previous thoughts. That is to say, once the cabinet determines that what happened yesterday is regicide (that is, rebellion), then Dongchang can only be asked to go to Yikun Palace to collect evidence, and the "censor" of the outer court can only be responsible for reviewing the evidence. Finally, when the "censors" confirm that the evidence is correct, the arrest and follow-up measures can be carried out.
The loophole here is very obvious, that is, who can ensure that Dongchang will not tamper with the evidence collection process? Since you, the imperial censor, can only make judgments based on the evidence sent by Dongchang, then I will directly give you some meaningless so-called evidence, and you can still come up with the result that "Concubine Zheng intends to kill the king." ?
The system has now become Shen Yiguang's bargaining chip.
Wang Jiaping couldn't believe it. He vaguely felt that Shen Yiguan was resistant to this matter, but he didn't understand where this resistance came from. In Wang Jiaping's view, Shen Yiguan and the entire Xinxue school behind him support the emperor's eldest son Zhu Changluo. Logically speaking, they should not have any good impressions of Concubine Zheng, and should even regard her as a personal nuisance. There is no reason to keep her. hand.
If this is the case, then Shen Yiguang's current attitude seems to only mean that he indeed believes that this matter has no solution.
Wang Jiaping had no choice but to turn his attention to Gao Pragmatic again, hoping that the youngest but most outstanding minister in the cabinet could put forward some constructive suggestions.
Gao pragmatic met Wang Jiaping's expectant gaze, smiled slightly, and said: "The outer court cannot send people into the palace to verify that it is Taizu's last order. We, the descendants, dare not violate it, but Yuan Fu, as long as some key figures in the outer court With enough power, things may not be as bad as imagined.”
"Oh?" Wang Jiaping asked doubtfully, "Who are the key people?"
Gao Pingshi looked at Shen Guanyi, with a pleased smile on his face, and said: "Qian Menggao, the disciple of Mr. Jiaomen - Chief of the Criminal Section."
Wang Jiaping was startled at first, then his eyes lit up, he put his hands on his hands and laughed: "Of course! Rixin is worthy of being the chief writer of "Huidian" in the past. These words really hit the mark!"
Gao Pragmatic smiled humbly and praised him repeatedly, while Shen Yiguan's expression changed drastically, as if he had swallowed a big green-headed fly alive, but he had to say politely: "Although Mr. Qian is said to be capable, after all, he is still I don’t have enough experience to do such a big thing, I’m afraid of it…”
Wang Jiaping waved his hands repeatedly and interrupted: "Hey, Mr. Jiaomen, there is no need to be too humble. Your disciples are always called capable officials, and they have been famous many times in the past. This is true for criticizing ministers and capable officials. Now the court is facing such demands. Well, he happens to be the chief of the Criminal Division, isn't it a God-given opportunity that enables him to make great contributions to the world?"
Gao Jingshi also added: "What Yuan Fu said is absolutely true. With Section Chief Qian here, how can Dongchang and Jinyiwei do anything fake? Once this is confirmed, Section Chief Qian will be famous all over the world. Needless to say, Mr. Jiaomen As Section Chief Qian’s favor, I will certainly be famous throughout the ages.”
Shen Yiguan opened his mouth, but he couldn't resist anymore, so he could only laugh and said: "Thanks to the Second Master..." This was the limit, and he really couldn't say anything more.
You may be curious as to why Gao Pragmatic suddenly got Qian Menggao involved again, and why Shen Yiguan wanted to refuse but couldn't. In fact, this has to go back to the "mutual checks and balances" between the factory guards and the three law departments mentioned above.
As I said just now, the establishment of the Factory Guard itself was to check and balance the Three Law Divisions controlled by the civil servant group. But since the civil servant group can compete with the imperial power for two hundred years, especially people like Yi? Naturally, we will also come up with a method that can reversely check and balance the factory guards.
You may have guessed this method, which is to rely on science and technology officials.
As mentioned earlier in this book, although Dongchang has great power, its manpower is actually very limited. Therefore, Dongchang actually uses Jinyiwei as its executive agency many times.
The Jinyiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers, so they have a set of procedures and methods for entering the palace, and there are no taboos that prohibit courtiers from entering the harem. As long as there is an order from the emperor, one can enter the palace to perform relevant tasks according to the usual rules. Of course, this is easy to understand. After all, Jinyiwei is also responsible for part of the palace's guarding work. How can he guard the palace if he can't enter?
Well, since Jinyiwei is the actual executive agency of Dongchang, in other words, as long as someone can restrict Jinyiwei, it will actually be difficult for Dongchang to cheat in this matter.
Who can limit Jin Yiwei? According to the mission Jin Yiwei is about to perform, one of the six subjects will have this ability.
Here is an example. In the 47th year of Wanli in original history, Luo Sigong, then the commander of the Jinyi Guards, talked about a specific incident in his memorial, which was recorded in the "Records of Shenzong":
"On the first day of the seventh month of the 47th month of Wanli reign, Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyi Guards and the capital, wrote: The yamen of the imperial court is actually related to the responsibilities of the criminal department. Whenever someone is promoted by decree, he must use the driving post, and the criminal department will give his name, and then comply with it. Yesterday, the department was enthroned by Yao Ruoshui, who was involved in the matter, and now it has been transferred to another department. There are no officials in the department.
Everything can still be slowed down a little, but if the order is to arrest someone, he will immediately send officials to hold the driving post and set off to report back, and he will not dare to stay for a while. Today, the affairs of Liao Dynasty have broken down, and I have asked him to arrest him several times. If he is allowed to do it, and I want to wait for him to invite the ministers, I am afraid that he will be punished and it will be a crime. If you want to follow orders, you may be called a violation and a sin. Emperor Fuqi saw that Zeng Ruzhao and Han Jisi were waiting for orders in the criminal department. He quickly granted them permission and appointed them as scheduled. Stay in the middle. "
Zhu Yijun did not approve this memorial, so I will ignore that for now. Here I will focus on the issues mentioned by Luo Sigong.
The specific events mentioned by Luo Sigong are not explained here, but only some important information points are mentioned:
The most important point among them is that although Jinyiwei is acting on orders when arresting criminals, they must also hold a "driving ticket" as evidence, and the circulation procedure of such "driving ticket" is very complicated.
Generally speaking, "driving notices" are first issued by the emperor, and then handed over to the eunuchs and eunuchs to issue the notices and seal them. When the notices are issued, they must be accompanied by the signed original memorial text (because it has been signed and approved by the emperor, Also known as "red book").
After the Jinyiwei obtained the "driving ticket" that both Wen and Yin had, they could not directly use it to arrest prisoners. They also needed to take this red book to the Criminal Division to sign and approve it, and the Criminal Division needed to Strictly compare the contents contained in the memorial and the "driving post" to ensure that nothing is missing before signing the "driving post".
The prisoner's name must also be outlined with ink to prevent arbitrary additions, deletions, and tampering, and then handed over to the Jin Yiwei, who can use this to make an arrest. If you want to use this to get out of the city defense gate to capture people, you also need to add gate defenses with various doors.
According to historical records, although there were some attempts to falsify edicts when the power of factory guards was at its peak, the civil service group never gave up on two key points: First, the "driving post" was handed over to the official for signature. When approving, it must be accompanied by the approved original copy of the ginseng for mutual comparison; secondly, the "driving post" itself must be signed and approved by the official before it can take effect.
Some people may think that if you don't just need to sign something, what's the restriction on it?
There really are, and there are two of them. First, if I don’t sign, you have no power to carry out the task. Whether I sign early or late is all up to me, and you, Jin Yiwei, can only wait; second, when I signed, I made the task clear. If you fail to implement it in the end, it will be entirely your Jinyiwei's problem, and I can use this to hold you accountable afterwards.
Readers who are familiar with administrative procedures should have figured out by now that Jinyiwei, as an executive agency, actually needs six departments to give approval and delegate powers accordingly before executing tasks, and it must also accept their review as supervision afterwards. Purely He's just a working man, he can't make the decision at all.
Let’s not talk about the power of “delegation of power”. After all, in this incident, it is impossible not to delegate power to all parties involved. Let’s just say this review afterwards... This thing is actually a king bomb.
What is review? That is to say, I have the final say on whether the thing you hand in is qualified or not.
This means that if I think something you Jinyiwei handed over is not acceptable, then it is not acceptable, and you must go back to investigate and collect evidence again until I think it is "qualified".
What's this? This is to shoot first and then draw the target. You can tell Jin Yiwei what I want first. You Jin Yiwei will go find it for me. Don’t say you can’t find it. I don’t care about that. I only want the evidence I mentioned!
Once this system is explained clearly, Gao Pragmatic's intentions are obvious: Qian Menggao is your most trusted disciple, Shen Yiguang, right? Great, he happens to be in charge of the Criminal Division, and this matter is his responsibility. Then we need to ask Section Chief Qian to "clear the target" for Jin Yiwei. We must find the evidence that our cabinet wants now, otherwise...hehe.
The reason why Shen Yiguan felt like he had swallowed a fly was because Jing Gao acted pragmatically. He would either give up his previous idea so that Dongchang could not cover up the truth in Yikun Palace; or... he would have no choice but to give up on Qian Menggao.
The former situation is easy to understand. After all, if the chief of the Criminal Section forces Jin Yiwei, Jin Yiwei's failure to complete the task will inevitably arouse the emperor's wrath, and he cannot afford to suffer the crime. The latter may be relatively difficult to understand. Why do you say that you can only give up Qian Menggao?
The reason is that although the Sixth Section is awesome, the cabinet is the head of the civil service group after all, and it is easy to kill a section chief for his political future.
Now Wang Jiaping and Gao Jingshi have obviously reached a consensus on this issue. If Shen has always refused to cooperate, that is, he does not ask Qian Menggao to force Jin Yiwei, then Wang and Gao can use the name of a collective cabinet resolution to make Qian Menggao become Those who were lost to the public in the outer court were regarded as traitors to the entire civil servant group, and thus were completely socialized.
The system is a good thing, it depends on who knows how to use it better.
